What is a requirement for a bailer on a small vessel?

It must be made of plastic or metal and capable of holding at least 750mL of water
It must be automated
It must be made of wood
It must have a capacity of over 1000mL

The correct answer is: It must be made of plastic or metal and capable of holding at least 750mL of water

A bailer on a small vessel must be able to effectively remove water from the vessel, which is why it must be a minimum of 750mL and made of a material that is durable and waterproof, such as plastic or metal. This allows it to be an effective tool for bailing out water in case of emergency. B and D are incorrect because there is no requirement for the bailer to be automated or have a capacity over 1000mL. C is also incorrect because wooden bailers are not as durable and effective in removing water as plastic or metal ones.
